Semi-Charmed Life

Happiness abounds! For me at least. Sure my human, K, has been having a run of bad luck lately, but my luck has been delightful. So much so that I feel I am living a bit of a semi-charmed life lately. I do feel bad for K, though, but life is about balance and right now I think K and I are experiencing a Yin/Yang balance of bad and good. She has the bad and I have the good. Works for me! But before I share my recent three happy events I would like to take a moment to woof a huge thank you to all of my animal and human friends for their thoughtful words of support and kindness regarding my last post about K’s run of bad luck. It really made K feel better, and it made me feel great knowing that I have such wonderful animals and humans as my friends. Blessed! Many woofs of thanks to all of you! And K sends warm thank-yous as well.

Now, on to me. My happiness times three consisted of (1) I got snow! Sure, it was not much snow, but it was snow none-the-less. I was so happy to see the snow falling that I almost couldn’t contain myself! Sadly, I have heard from the birdies, who stop by to pick food out of my dog bowl, that out East a huge snowstorm hit and caused a lot of bad things to happen. As much as I love snow I know that too much of a good thing can be bad (except when it comes to yummy bunnies). I am keeping my paws crossed that all the animals and humans in the snowstorm stay warm and safe. (2) I got sun! “The sky was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it to my nose.” And through my fur. It felt delicious! Although the sunshine melted much of the snow I had just gotten I was not too upset about it because I have not had a sun-shiny day in a long time and I had been yearning to feel the warm sun’s rays on my fur. No sunscreen for me! Plus, I needed the hit of Vitamin D. (3) I got a deer blob! OK, this may gross out some of my human friends, but Silvius had dragged home another blob of deer legs and skin from a deceased deer he found, so I have had a yummy treat to munch on all week. Yes, I have heard the saying, “Finders keepers, losers weepers,” and I know Silvius found the deer blob. However, one day Silvius had left his deer blob unattended so I found it and therefore I get to keep it. The last photo is me guarding my deer blob, in case Silvius tries to "find" it back. It's not that I am greedy and don't share, it's just that I wouldn't want to know if I am a "losers weepers" kind of dog. I'm just sayin'...
